In the end, the two old men couldn’t do a single thing in the face of Mo Xue’s threat.
Right now, they were in a very precarious position.
After all, it wasn’t as if they didn’t have any enemies.
On their path of cultivation, it was inevitable that they made many enemies.
So if those enemies were to find out that they were in this weakened state right now, there was no doubt that they would come to take care of them.
After all, they were able to remain their enemies since they couldn’t be defeated. They were enemies since both sides were strong enough that they didn’t dare attack each other.
So there was no doubt that their enemies would be able to easily take care of them if they learned of their injuries.
Letting this information spread was the last thing that they could afford.
So they were at the whims of Mo Xue right now.
The first old man said, “What do you want from us?”
The second old man didn’t say anything, but it was clear by the look on his face that he thought the same thing as the first old man.
Mo Xue looked at them with a calm look on his face and said, “I know what you’re planning to do during this time. Stop it and I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourselves.”
Both of them had ugly looks on their faces when they heard this.
Mo Xue then said, “Or if you want, go back to your sects and they should be able to release the seal that I put on you.”
Their expressions turned uglier the moment that they heard this.
After all, if they were to really do that, it would be hard to guarantee if they could even keep their lives. That was just how important the mission that they had been sent here on was.
If they didn’t accomplish this mission and ran away with their tail between their legs, there was no doubt that they would be punished.
For the Five Great Sects, that kind of punishment would usually mean…death.
So of course they were terrified to go back without at least trying to finish their mission.
After a long silence, the first old man asked, “Just what do you want?”
The second old man once again didn’t say anything as he focused on the answer that Mo Xue would give.
But to their surprise, Mo Xue didn’t give them an answer.
He seemed like he had been willing to tell them all of this, but now he suddenly fell silent.
All of a sudden, his lips had become tight.
Though when they thought about it, it didn’t really seem strange since this was how it should have been from the beginning.
There was no reason for him to tell them anything in the first place since he was their enemy. It was already surprising enough that he didn’t kill them and only sealed them.
However, this could be considered a cruel way of dealing with them since killing them might be easier on them.
Still, their lives were the most important things to them…
Mo Xue knew that there was nothing else that he could get out of these two, so he just said in a cold voice, “Scram.”
The two of them looked at each other with awkward looks before standing up while supporting each other. They took one last look at Mo Xue and then at the Love Sect group before suddenly jumping into the air.
However, they didn’t disappear like they wanted to.
It seemed like they weren’t used to the state of being sealed like this, so when they tried to jump into the air, they actually misjudged their power and landed on their faces. It seemed like they hadn’t been able to propel themselves into the air like they had wanted to.
This was without a doubt embarrassing for the two old men, which was clear by the looks on their faces.
However, they brushed themselves off and jumped up into the air again.
This time, they disappeared without a trace.
When it was over, the others who had been suppressed by the pressure that the two of them emitted were able to stand up again. That included those from the Martial Might Sect who had also been suppressed by those two.
But that didn’t last long as they felt another pressure fall onto them.
This time, it was pressure that came from Mo Xue.
As he released this pressure, Mo Xue looked at Xiao Ming and asked, “What do you want to do with them?”
Xiao Ming was surprised to be asked this question by Mo Xue, but she turned to look at the Martial Might Sect group with narrowed eyes.
When the Martial Might Sect group saw her looking at them like this, all of them felt a chill run down their spines. There were some of them that had wanted to beg for their lives, but they found that they weren’t able to say a thing.
It seemed that the suppression that was on them was so strong that they weren’t even able to make a sound.
So all they could do was wait for Xiao Ming to decide their fates.
This was a feeling that was very uncomfortable for them since they had never experienced something like this before. Normally, it would be them who was on the deciding side and not on the receiving side.
For them who had their pride built up by the Martial Might Sect, this was naturally something that was hard for them to accept.
It was just that they had no choice but to accept this.
After staring at them for a bit, Xiao Ming suddenly said, “Let them go.”
Mo Xue was surprised to hear this before asking, “Are you sure about that?”
Xiao Ming just gave a simple nod in response.
Mo Xue hesitated for a second, but he removed the pressure that he was putting on the group from the Martial Might Sect group.
The moment that the pressure was released, all of the Martial Might Sect disciples quickly stood up and moved away from them. Though they didn’t run away as soon as they were able to move since they were afraid that it was a trap.
Mo Xue just waved his hand at them and said, “Alright, get out of here.”
The Martial Might Sect disciples immediately turned to run the moment that they heard this, but there were some of them that looked back at the Love Sect group. The way that they looked back at them, it was almost as if they were saying…
“You’ll regret this.”
Basically, they were acting like small villains who had been defeated and were declaring that they would get revenge before running off.
This was one of those commonly seen tropes.
Once they were gone, Mo Xue couldn’t help asking Xiao Ming, “Are you sure that you should have done that? Even if they are weak, that doesn’t mean that the influence of the Martial Might Sect is weak. They might do something quite surprising if you underestimate them.”
Xiao Ming didn’t seem bothered by this as she calmly said, “Thank you for saving us.”
Mo Xue raised a brow without saying anything, as if he was still waiting for the answer to his question.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming raised the Recording Crystal that she had.
Mo Xue looked at it with the same brow raised, but he didn’t say anything as he began examining what was on the Recording Crystal. As he watched it, there was a faint smile that appeared on his face.
When he was done, he looked at Xiao Ming with a look of admiration as he said, “It seems like you’re much more ferocious than I thought. So you want to torture them before you finish them off.”
Xiao Ming just looked at him with a smile before saying, “It’s what they deserve.”
Mo Xue shook his head before saying with a sigh, “Look at you…I really wouldn’t want to get on your bad side.”
He turned to Mo Sha to say, “Remember, this is a girl that you can’t offend no matter what you do. Or else you might not even know how you were stabbed in the back.”
Mo Sha revealed a faint smile before saying, “Grandfather, I already know.”
Xiao Ming looked a bit unhappy about the way that the grandfather and grandson were treating her, but she didn’t say anything about it. Instead, she said once again, “Thank you for helping us.”
Mo Xue waved his hand as he said, “Don’t worry about it. I was just doing a friend a favour, so I’ll look out for you for the rest of your time here. You don’t need to worry about them doing anything to you with me here.”
Xiao Ming was surprised to hear this before asking, “What friend?”
Mo Xue just looked at her with a smile without saying a thing.
The way that he did this, it was almost as if he was teasing her.
Xiao Ming was naturally unhappy to see this, but once again she didn’t say anything.
Since she couldn’t get anything out of Mo Xue, she turned back to Huang Xie and said, “How could you do that to us? Do you even know how worried we were?”
Huang Xie had thought that he had been forgotten, but there was a bitter smile that appeared on his face when he heard Xiao Ming say this.
All he could do was raise his hands and try to explain.
